Disclaimer: I don't own any of the wrestlers used in this story, 'cause if I did, I'd be busy with them right now *grin*. But I do own Jami, for she is me.
Distribution: Ask me if you can use it, more than likely I will say yes.
Rating: So far, it's a PG-13
Content: Nothing bad as of yet, probably won't be anything to bad either....maybe some cussing.
Spoilers: Um...anything can happen and I'm just writing as I go, so I don't know yet *L*. Um, Just so you know though, In my story all the wrestlers go by their wrestling name in 'real life'. It's easier for me that way =).
Summary: Jami comes to the WWF to be with her best friend Lita. She's close to Matt but has never met the other Hardy boy...but that's about to change when she gets drawn into the story line as Lita's little sister that Jeff must woo over, but can he really woo her? (cheesy, I know...but I dig cheesy).
Feedback: I need feedback like I need air! So give it to me, babee!

Jami sat in the metal folding chair, carefully checking out her surroundings. She sat in a large, obnoxiously white room, filled with dozens of metal folding chairs. On the chairs sat men and women of all shapes and sizes. The people around her were wrestlers in the WWF and they were all in the meeting room before that nights RAW. Jami turned to look at her best friend who occupied the seat next to her. "Hey Lita, when's this thing going to start?" she asked, rather impatiently. Lita laughed, "Any second now. See! There's Vince. Relax! It's not like your going to a group beating or anything." Jami rolled her eyes as Vince clapped his hands in an attempt to get everyone's attention. Jami shifted in her seat and turned her attention to him.
"Good morning everyone! Tonight's RAW is going to be the beginning of many new story lines and plot twists. Chris Jericho begins a new feud against Test because of his interference in his match at Summerslam. Mostly all that is going to happen is Jericho is going to call Test out, they fight, Alliance interfers. Scripts are in your locker rooms. Okay, Rock, you and Kanyon start feuding today. That plot line hasn't been completely developed yet. But you'll also find your scripts in the locker room. Okay, I'd like to introduce everyone to the newest member of the WWF family. Jami is a friend of Lita's and she will be worked into the story line as Lita's little sister. Okay, Matt still holds the European title and Jeff holds the Hardcore Title, so they will start to do a lot more singles matches. Lita will of course be accompanying Matt, and we are going to have Jeff set out to 'woo' Jami. She will valet him starting tonight when we see a clip of the four of them in the back, and Lita asking Jami to accompany Jeff while she tends to a hurt Matt. Jeff will be in a match against Shane M. for the title. This is the first time Jami will be introduced to the world and Shane is going to be taken with her and attempt to 'woo' her over too. We haven't fully developed the plot line yet either, we are going to wait and see the fan reaction. Scripts are in the locker room." Vince finished, turning his attention to another group of wrestlers. Jami tuned him out as she thought of her night to come. Her stomache was twisting with nerves and she had started to chew on her pen cap nervously. She looked around the circle of wrestlers and her gaze caught on a pair of eyes watching her. Jeff Hardy smiled at her and she nearly dropped her pen. She shot him a shy smile in response. She had never been introduced to Jeff, although she was close to Matt. Lita and Matt were really dating, so Lita often brought him home. But the few times she had visited the WWF, Jeff had been gone for one reason or another. When she had come in late last night, he had already went to bed. Jami felt someone tap her shoulder and she looked over to see Matt leaning across Lita.
"I see you've discovered my dear brother." he teased her. Jami blushed as she realized that she had been caught staring at Jeff. She looked back to where Jeff was and he wiggled his eyebrows up and down a few times, a teasing grin playing across his face. Jami blushed an even deeper shade of red. She turned her embarassed eyes to focus on her white tennis shoes.

Jeff grinned as he watched the dark haired girl with the red face turn an embarassed look down to her shoes. He bit back a laugh as he saw Lita give Matt a sharp elbow to the side. His friend Edge leaned over to him, "Ha! You have to 'woo' the newbie! I bet she's a total dog!" Edge laughed. "what are you talking about? Look at her over there by Lita! She's definately not a dog!" Jeff threw him an incredulous look. Edge looked to where Lita and Jami were sitting, his eyes grew wide in suprise. "THAT'S her?" he asked, "But...But, she looks so...so...innocent and small townish. She looks so different from Lita's edgier look!" "yeah, I know." was Jeff's only reply.
He'd slouched down further into his chair as he thought about all he knew about Jami. He knew that Jami and Lita had known each other for years, their family's were old friends. He looked her over. She was short, he had seen her standing with Lita earlier, and knew she was only a few inches over 5 foot. She had shoulder length brown hair. He could tell she had red, blonde and purple highlights placed throughout her hair. She had large, doe-like, brown eyes. She was thin, she couldn't have been over 100 pounds. She had on short khaki shorts that showed off her tan legs, that ended with the white tennis shoes that she wore without socks. She wore a light blue sleaveless shirt that showed off her dark tan. The shirt was just tight enough to show off a good sized chest. he grinned and Jami's eyes glanced up as if she knew where his mind was and her eyes widened as she crossed her arms over her chest. This time it was his turn to look embarassed and he groaned as he felt himself turning red. "What?" Edge asked. "She just caught me looking at her chest." he groaned. "Dude!!" Edge said, laughing, sounding proud of his friend. Vince had ended the meeting and people were starting to file out. Jeff got up and walked over to where Lita, Jami and matt stood. Before he could say anything, vince walked up to them.

"I need you guys to get to your locker rooms to look over the scripts immediently. Since Jami has never worked with you, it may take awhile before the chemistry is how we want it on the camera. Plus, we need for Jami to get into make-up and wardrobe." Vince said, sounding a little anxious. All of them nodded and vince put Jami's arm through his and started walking her down to the locker rooms, asking her how things were for her since she had arrived. Jeff sighed and walked after them along with Matt and Lita. As he walked, his mind again turned to what he knew about Jami. She had originally came from Iowa, but spent her summers in North Carolina, which is where she met Lita. Matt was close with her too, and he said that she was a really sweet girl. She was also known to be quick with sarcastic comments. Jeff smiled, looking at her now, he couldn't imagine her ever being anything other than serious and sincere.
Matt placed his mouth next to Jeff's ear and whispered, "hmmm, thinking awfully hard about something, aren't we? Could it be that your thinking how good 'Jami hardy' might sound?" Jeff jumped, his only answer was a glare. He ran a hand through his freshly dyed purple hair as he watched Jami walk with vince. They had reached Lita and jami's locker room, and Jami had already begun to disappear inside. Matt and Jeff walked to the door next to the girls and they to disappeared inside.

"This doesn't sound to hard." Jami muttered, flipping through the script for the hundredth time. "great, then I'll go get the guys so we can run through it a few times before we tape." Lita said. "do we have to?" Jami asked, "I mean, I'd rather that we do this first before I get a chance to get to know Jeff, since for the script I'm suppose to be just meeting him, pretty much. " "yeah, your right." Lita agree'd. "Let's get you to wardrobe and make-up then, so we can get busy taping."
They hurried out thru the make-up and wardrobe, and one hour later they were in the taping room, awaiting the arrival of the brothers. Finally they entered. The brother's gaze latched on to seperate girls, with looks of admiration. Lita was wearing baggy jeans with a thong peaking out and a triange tube top. Matt went to her and placed a kiss on her bare shoulder. Jami was wearing a pair of close fitting black jeans and a black lacy tank top. Jeff eyed her appreciatevely. he walked up to her and took her hand, "Hi, I'm Jeff." he said. Jami smiled, "Yeah, I know...the purple hair gave you away." "Come on, stop eyeing her like a piece of meat and lets get this taped." Matt said. Jeff glared at his brother. Matt placed an arm around Lita's shoulders and put an injured look on his face. A guy behind a camera signaled for them to begin and Jami took a place next to Jeff.
"Jeff, I can't go out there with you now. matt is hurt! I need to get him to the medics." Lita said, sounding frantic. "Damn! What am I suppose to do? I need someone to go out there for me, to watch my back!" Jeff replied, sounding equally frantic. Matt moaned to show he was in pain. "Listen, I can go out there if you want, I mean, I can watch your back and all." Jami said, looking at Jeff and then to Lita. Jeff looked at Lita who shrugged her shoulders. "I guess you could. I mean, it's only this once. And you won't have to do anything but warn Jeff is something is about to go down." Lita told her. The camera guy signaled for them to stop. "Great job. I think that'll do it. Thanks. Oh, and Jeff and Lita, Vince wants to add a part with just you two...so I need you to tape for a bit longer." The camera guy said.
Jami and Matt left the room and matt put an arm around Jami. "So, what do you think of my baby brother?" he asked. "well, considering that I only just now met him and didn't talk to him, I'd say he's a nice guy." she replied, honestly. "Yeah, and pretty good lookin' too, isn't he?" matt teased. "I don't know..he looks to much like his brother." She joked. Matt grabbed her like he was going to put her in a sleeper hold. "Ack! I'm just kidding. Your good looking!" she gasped and he released her. Then he hugged her as he stopped outside her locker room. "Listen babe, I'm glad your here." he told her. "Thanks, I'm glad I'm here too!" she said, returning the hug. She opened the door to the locker room. "Oh, and your brother is very good looking." She said, before disappearing into the locker room.
